Harley Bennell

Would prefer Lid if he wasn't so expensive

6.4% of teams.  That is absolutely insane.

Jasper Pittard's in more teams FFS.

Why is it? He's missed the last 3 weeks (including the bye) with injury, plus another game out due to off field issues. He's ubreliable and although he has immense talent which is why I had him, he just isn't intelligent and makes the wrong decisions.

And he butchers the pill soooo often, which happens his ability to score really well every week. Just a frustrating player to own really, and you don't know which Harley will turn up every week

I'm just going to throw in my 2 cents. As a Bennell owner it's been a bit frustrating for sure because i feel like he hasn't been playing at his best... but he always seems to get a decent score somehow. I'm pretty sure champion data just like him haha.

I agree, but as you alluded to, on talent alone he should be in 20% of teams.  It isn't beyond him to average 110 from here on out, he's just that good. 

I'm very surprised so many jumped ship on him knowing that he's going to be a roller-coaster player.  I think it's only up from here.

Well it's a good thing CD don't hand out points on talent alone, then.

Are you suggesting Harley should change his last name to Bennellempelli?

He is also only young and playing in a weak team. Imagine how good he would look playing in the Hawthorn forward line with the odd run in the middle. Could also have a beer with Dermie, Dipper and Dunstall after the game.  :-*

agree its way too high. Why would you risk a guy who is injury prone and has offield issues in a team thats really struggling.

Im happy with Buddy Lids Gray Martin Swan Dahlous Goddard instead  thankyou.

I'd worry about a party boy who used to live with Hunt, yes.

Not really worried at all

He probably still needs to grow up a bit, be alright in a year or two. Reckon he can average 110-120 when he matures.

Front page of Thursday's Courier Mail:

"White Line Fever" - Pictures of Bennell doing lines of what is said to be speed. Also drinking UDL, so not sure which is more offensive

Photos are from 2013 though, but still likely to cause some fall-out you'd think

To be fair that picture was taken before the rd 1 Clash in 2013. Been several years since, but regardless the guy is a flog and is a NEVER again pick for me. No flogs allowed policy will be enforced next year.
